INTRODUCTION

• We started at Siemens - C65 and X75 generations • Started our company in 2007

• Outsourced Software Development • Diverse Projects

• Mobile App & Platform Development • Android, iOS, BB10, BB Classic, J2ME

• Embedded Linux: C/C++, Asm on ARM, MIPS • Web / Server: Java EE

• Built on Teleworking

Mobile Development since 2004

THE MOBILE CHALLENGETarget multiple platforms

OUR CHOICE: USE JAVA

• Most of our codebase was in Java • J2ME, Classic BlackBerry, Android

• Java is native on Android • Don't like reinventing the wheel...and debugging

it all over again • Native UI

• Customers did not like Cross-Platform UIs • Great development tools

• Debugger, IDEs, Native API access, UI Designer

And design apps The Right WayTM

THE BIRTH OF MIGERAN FOR IOSMigeran for iOS was our first own Product

Migeran for iOS

• Since 2009, we used XMLVM • Migeran Development started in 2013

• Runtime based on Android ART • Nat/J

• Java to native bindings with automated generator • Full iOS API mapping

• Eclipse and later Android Studio / IDEA integration • First public release at the end of 2014 • In 2015 Intel acquired Migeran for iOS and it is now part

of the Intel Multi-OS Engine

NAT/J - JAVA TO NATIVE BINDING

• Java to native bindings defined using Java annotations • C and Objective-C runtimes supported • Manages Objective-C object lifecycle • Dynamically links Java and native functions

• Automatic binding generator • The full iOS API is automatically generated • Bind Objective-C ViewController stubs to Java • Generate bindings for 3rd party Objective-C and Swift libraries

• Works on any JNI compatible Java VM (Oracle, ART ...)

Never use JNI Again!

ADVANCED JAVA & NATIVE INTEGRATION

• Use any JVM language (Scala, Kotlin, Clojure ... etc.) • Use Java libraries from Objective-C and Swift code

through simple Objective-C wrappers • Implement Objective-C protocols in Java • Extend Objective-C classes in Java

• Build your UI in Swift or Objective-C • Automatically generate bindings with Nat/J

• Use Xcode or Android Studio as required

Use the tools best suited for the task

MIGRATING FROM ROBOVM

• LibGDX already announced that they are switching to MOE • Their experimental MOE based backend is already available

• RoboVM's features are available on Intel MOE • e.g. RoboVM's Bro can be easily replaced through Nat/J

RoboVM was shut down by Microsoft
